How would you deal husband who keep asking you for his attention?

My mum always told me... There are 'boys' and then there is a 'Man Child'... So basically there aren't any 'MEN'.. If your 'Man Child' is constantly asking for attention, well he's just being himself... Like a child cater to him, pamper him and whack him a bit too.. Men too love attention and no harm reinforcing it ...:)
